Blotato · Productivity · Marketing

Blotato AI Content Engine is a social media API and MCP server that turns an AI agent into a publishing tool. You connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your own automation stack, and the agent posts to 9 platforms from a single call. It also handles scheduling, comments, Instagram and Facebook DMs, and analytics. Social media automation this broad usually takes a stack of tools, but here it starts at $29/mo with unlimited posts.

About Blotato AI Content Engine

What Is Blotato AI Content Engine

Blotato AI Content Engine is infrastructure for people who want their AI agent to actually publish, not just draft. It sits behind ChatGPT, Claude, and coding agents as a hosted MCP server, and behind your own backend as a REST API. Both run on one key and one flat bill. Think of AI agent posting as plumbing you set once, then everything flows through it.

The problem it solves is the last mile of AI content work. An agent can write a caption in seconds, but posting it still means logging into each network, resizing media, and approving a developer app. Blotato turns that into a tool call. One request publishes to X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and Pinterest. Simple as that.

The catch is scope. Comment and DM support only covers Instagram and Facebook, because those are the networks with usable messaging APIs. Analytics cover 8 platforms, with LinkedIn excluded. Cold outreach DMs are off the table by design. And API access is excluded from the free trial. Can you test the agent flow before you pay? No, and that's the part that stings.

Getting Started

  1. Create an account at my.blotato.com and pick a plan. The 7-day trial covers the web app but not the API.
  2. Connect your social accounts in the dashboard. Each plan sets a cap, from 20 accounts on Starter up to 40 on Creator.
  3. Grab your API key and connect either the REST endpoint at backend.blotato.com/v2 or the MCP server at mcp.blotato.com/mcp.
  4. From your agent, call a tool like create_post or POST /posts with the target platforms and content.
  5. Check the response, then read metrics later through the analytics endpoints to see what landed.

Key features

One API and MCP Server for 9 Platforms

Blotato's core is a unified publishing layer. Your agent calls create_post once, and the product handles each network's requirements natively rather than through browser automation. That covers X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and Pinterest. The MCP server at mcp.blotato.com/mcp exposes 36 tools, and the REST API sits at backend.blotato.com/v2 behind one blotato-api-key header. No per-platform SDKs, no OAuth app approvals.

Scheduling and Calendar Control

This is where the social media scheduler earns its keep. Posting happens now, at a timestamp, or through a calendar the API fills for you. Recurring weekly slots are tracked per platform and per account, so the agent can ask for the next free slot and drop content into it. The schedule endpoints are GET, PATCH, and DELETE, which makes editing a queue about as simple as reading it.

Comments and DM Handling

The agent can list comments and conversations, read any thread, and reply or send a DM without a human touching the app. Messages support buttons and quick replies, which matters when you want a reply to lead somewhere. Support here is limited to Instagram and Facebook. That's a real constraint. Those messaging APIs are the only ones open enough to build on reliably, so it's a limitation of the platforms, not an oversight.

Keyword-Triggered DM Automation

Eight dm-automations endpoints build the classic comment-to-DM funnel programmatically. Someone comments a keyword, they get a DM with a button. Triggers work per post or account-wide, on comments or direct messages, and each one reports its own triggered, completed, and failed counts. The design is reply-only inside Meta's 7-day comment and 24-hour DM windows. Cold outreach doesn't exist here, on purpose.

Analytics Across 8 Networks

GET /analytics ranks published posts by views, reach, likes, or comments. For a single post, GET /posts/:id/analytics returns its metrics over time, including full snapshot history. Every metric field is optional, so a network that doesn't report a figure returns none rather than a fake zero. LinkedIn is the one exclusion, since it doesn't return metrics yet.

AI Content Generation with Credits

Beyond publishing, the product generates images, videos, and voice from within the same plan. Starter includes 1,250 AI credits a month, Creator 5,000, and Agency 28,000. Credits cover AI image and video generation plus voice; writing is unlimited on every tier. Higher plans also get faster or dedicated video processing.

Native Automation Integrations

Official n8n and Make nodes let you wire Blotato into existing workflows without writing glue code. A self-hosted automation can watch a database, draft a post, and push it through Blotato as the publishing step. This is aimed at operators scaling to a real audience, where the tooling is a pipeline rather than a daily app.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • One API key and one flat bill replace per-platform OAuth apps and token-refresh jobs, which removes a lot of maintenance.
  • Unlimited posts on every plan means no per-post pricing to model as volume grows.
  • MCP support covers 8 AI agents, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex, so you can use the agent you already run.
  • Scheduling, comments, DMs, and analytics live behind the same key instead of across four tools.
  • Credits go only to AI image and video generation, never to API calls, so API usage doesn't drain your generation budget.

Cons

  • No free plan. The 7-day trial excludes API access, so you can't test the agent publishing flow until you pay.
  • Comments and DMs work on Instagram and Facebook only, which leaves other networks out if your audience lives elsewhere.
  • LinkedIn returns no metrics yet, so it's a blind spot in analytics for anyone who posts there heavily.
  • The $29 entry plan caps you at 20 connected accounts and 1,250 AI credits, which fills up fast if you generate a lot of video.

Frequently asked questions

Blotato lets an AI agent publish and schedule social media posts, reply to comments and DMs, and read analytics across 9 platforms from one API or MCP connection. People use it to run daily posting and comment-to-DM funnels without opening each network by hand.
